Hi Mum, ‘Oh Queen, it’s 4 in the morning.’ I know, I woke up and I feel wide awake, you know like when you set a ridiculously early alarm coz there’s a taxi picking you up to take you to the airport in the dark. I’m that kind of wide awake… I’m ‘wired’ awake. ‘Oh …
Dear Frankie, I know that opening presents and receiving gifts at Christmas is awesome, special surprises are hidden in stockings and sacks to find by the fireplace and at the foot of the bed. We are very fortunate people. It’s a brilliant concept, it really is and now you’re older you’ve started to appreciate the …
Mum and I got onto the topic of food again. ‘How do you mean, ‘lesbian cuisine?’ She slurped. ‘I don’t know love….what do you think lesbians like to eat?’ ‘Well these are definitely lesbian biscuits for a start Mum.’ ‘Don’t be daft, here do you want a plate?’ She nudged, dusting the crumbs heavy handedly …
‘You’re happy, that’s what it is.’ She continued. My Mother was right but then I’d been happy and skinny in my life too. I knew there was definitely more to having a healthy lesbian appetite and I wanted to discuss it over more tea and frangipanes. ‘I’ve got boobs now as well and you know …

Dear Frankie, I want you to understand the reasons why I gave you an iPhone 6 at the age of 8 years old. For now, It’s a clock, a calendar and a camera. It’s a TV, a video recorder and a music player. It’s a note book, an encyclopaedia and a diary. When you are …
Dear Frankie, We have always talked about the importance of being kind to others. We help heal people, not hurt them. If they try to hurt us, we stay strong and use our ‘Kind Powers’ to protect our minds and bodies. Forgiveness is our medicine, we use it to improve our wellbeing. You have been …
Dear Frankie, Can we talk about patience? Have you ever heard the saying…? “Patience Is A Virtue” The sentiment in this common phrase is a reflection upon a person’s ability to wait for something. By calling patience a virtue, it leads people to believe an ability to wait without agitation is an admirable quality. However, …
Frankie performed a solo in her School Christmas Carol Concert at church last night. It was one of those ‘Mum’ moments when I realised my daughter is rapidly coming into her own and out from under my apron strings. Every square inch of my baby blank canvas is almost full. At 8 and a half …
